Aggrieved Fish Sprite

The ink carp climbed into the palace wall without a sound, and subconsciously pushed the gerbil with its head out of its collar to look back.

Because Donggong has a cat.

The night was thick, the palace was brightly lit, and there were people coming and going everywhere.Perhaps it was for this reason that the spotted cat hid elsewhere, and the ink carp did not see any trace of it.

The further he walked in, the more Dr. Mo frowned.

He originally thought that the noise was limited to the vicinity of the palace gate, but he didn't expect that the sleeping hall was also unstable.The prince is so ill, it is not easy to fall asleep, what are these people doing?

A whole box of precious brocades and antique jade articles are displayed in front of the hall in turn.

The dark patterns on the brocade are shining brightly under the light.

The servant girl in the East Palace lowered her head, as if she couldn't see these things, she walked quickly through the steps.Manager Chen of the East Palace turned pale and said angrily at the treasurer who brought the things over, "Who told you to come? How dare you bring someone here without the permission of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The treasurer was surrounded by a few small officials of the sixth and seventh ranks. They didn't speak, but their expressions were really ugly.

Although the ranks of the inner court are different from those of the outer court, these Changqiu supervisors who manage the imperial inner treasury deal with the inner eunuchs all day long, so they can't raise the aura of the outer court officials to despise the inner eunuchs.

"Look at what Manager Chen said, this is the wish of His Majesty and His Highness the Third Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince must take a look at it!"

The treasurer's tone was respectful, but his expression was sarcasm. In the past, when he saw the chief servant of the Eastern Palace, he would greet him with a smile and greet him thoughtfully and appropriately.It's different now, the crown prince is terminally ill, and Mr. Chen is a dying man, so why is he showing his prestige in front of him at this moment?

"The two prime ministers said that they want the officials and others to come and take a look. If there is anything missing in the East Palace, they will have to take some compensation from the treasury. Now they are not allowed to enter or look at it. How can we do it?"

The voice of speaking is unrestrained, and can be heard from far away.

Manager Chen was so furious that he almost punched the treasurer in the face.

The rest of the palace people and the guards of the East Palace all showed the same anger, faintly surrounding the Changqiu Prisoners.

Only then did the treasurer feel that something was wrong. He took a step back and asked angrily, "What are you guys going to do? You're also going to make..."

Before the word rebellion was finished, a shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and the treasurer covered his face and began to howl.His face was dripping with blood, his palms were trembling, his expression was terrified, and his other hand was waving wildly in front of him.

"Meow."

The black shadow stopped far away from the stone steps, flicking its tail lightly.

"Seize the cat!" the treasurer was startled and angry.

If the scars are not healed, he may not be able to keep his current position.Whether it is a courtier from the outer court or an eunuch from the inner court, once his face is damaged, everything will be closed, only generals are not so particular.

"Damn it, grab it..."

"Ah Hu!"

The cat heard the call of the palace man and ran faster.

Manager Chen said with a smirk: "Hu Siku was shocked. He is the raccoon slave raised by His Royal Highness. He is timid by nature. So many people suddenly came to the palace today, and there was no one to say hello. Everyone was in a hurry. This cat is not a cat. Are you scared? What can a beast know? It can’t teach you how to behave, so you can only let it run around.”

"you--"

Hu Sku fell back angrily.

Several other small officials also heard that this was referring to Sang and scolding Huai, but they couldn't do it.

If the prince does not die for a day, he is still the prince.They can ignore the prince, and they can be contemptuous in their hearts, but on the surface they have to abide by the way of a monarch and his ministers, and they can't chase and beat the cat raised by the prince.

The civet cat was very dexterous, and didn't give anyone a chance to throw objects at it, so it jumped onto the eaves in two or three hits.

With steep and narrow eaves, cats walk on flat ground.

Suddenly it stopped and looked around, as if looking for something.

The people below could only watch it climb over the eaves and turn to the other side of the temple.

—— Mo Li held his breath, silently looking at the cat that was slowly walking towards him.

The cat named Ah Hu gradually arched its back and lifted its sharp claws slightly, as if it regarded the black carp as a strong enemy for food.

The so-called "food" was held in the arms of the ink carp, a warm ball, so soft that it didn't move.The ink carp couldn't help but use its internal force to drive away the raccoon slave, trying to keep it away from him.

The cat was flipped three times by an invisible force, and almost lost its balance and rolled off the roof.

When it got up again, the ink carp had already sneaked into the bedroom in the dark.

When Yu Lan turned around, she saw that there was another person in front of her. She almost pulled out her hairpin and swung it towards him. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, so she didn't yell out that there was an assassin and startled the people outside the hall.

There are curtains hanging from all sides of the sleeping hall, and with the screens and decorations covering it, even the palace servants who are also waiting in the hall cannot see what is going on in this corner.

Mo Li made a silent gesture to Yu Lan, who understood, and assigned several nearby palace servants to work, and then saluted with joy and anticipation in his expression.

"Are you here to visit His Highness?"

Mo Li didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

Because the prescription was effective, Yu Lan wished to worship the ink carp as a Buddha statue and Bodhisattva, she hurriedly went to tell the prince, after a while, the people in the bedroom left one after another, leaving only a few sporadic palace people.

These are all in charge of the East Palace, and they are also the prince's confidantes.

When Mo Li came last time, they were all knocked down, and this is the first time they have seen this miraculous doctor who appeared strangely with Meng Guoshi.

Seeing Mo Li, the prince was refreshed, stood up slightly and said, "I have received the favor of the divine doctor alone, and I still don't know the name of the divine doctor, and who did I learn from..."

"The first and last names are not important. What you need is the prescription, not the doctor's background."

Yu Lan stood beside her, just in time to watch Mo Li walk past her, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that there seemed to be a bulge under Mo Li's robe.

Yu Lan knows martial arts, she is the prince's personal maid, and also acts as a bodyguard.She will make sure that no matter who the prince wants to meet, there is no hidden weapon.

Because she often can't search with her hands and can only rely on her eyes, Yu Lan is sure that she has read correctly. There is indeed a bulge under the clothes of this genius doctor, and it is so small that it is barely enough for a purse.

Besides, how can anyone tuck their wallets in their chests?

It is spring now, and people often wear jackets, which are much thinner than cotton-padded clothes, and not as loose as summer toga, so it is very obvious that they bulge a little.

"..."

Wait, it seems to be moving!

Yu Lan was taken aback, and quickly signaled the palace people around her to pay attention.

The others didn't know what to do and thought there was something wrong with the ink carp, so they approached slowly and vigilantly.

Ignoring everyone's scrutinizing and guarding eyes, Mo Li walked to a place five steps away from the prince's bed, raised his hands in salute, and behaved calmly. He didn't respect the prince's status more, nor did he rely on his own martial arts to be unrestrained .

Mr. Chen, who came over after hearing the news, wanted to scold him, but felt hesitant.

Mo Li only cares about the gerbil in his arms, as long as the gerbil is not snatched by the cat, he doesn't care what others think.

"Please sit down, doctor."

The prince's expression changed, and he changed his address to a more familiar one.

Mo carp really doesn't like the title of genius doctor.

The palace people wanted to move Xiudun over, but Mo Li stopped them.

"No, I can check the pulse here."

Mo Li was like an ordinary doctor going to an ordinary person's home to treat illnesses. When the prince stretched out his wrist, he began to sound his pulse without any distraction, and then changed hands after a while.

No one spoke in the bedroom, only the prince's low cough.

After about a cup of tea, Mo Li let go of his hand and fell silent.

When a doctor encounters an intractable disease and doesn’t know how to prescribe it, this is likely to happen. The crown prince’s situation is even more serious. Those imperial doctors’ expressions changed drastically when they were diagnosing the pulse, and they couldn’t hide their frightened expressions. bluntly.

Mo Li was hesitant to make a decision because he had never tried to treat a patient whose condition was so critical that the prince's body might not be able to handle even a normal amount of medicine, let alone heavy medicine.

There is no ready-made prescription at all, so I can only make up my own mind.

A slight error in the weight can have unimaginable consequences.

Mo Li couldn't help feeling a little anxious, he didn't show it on his face, but his mood was fluctuating.If there was a doctor with equally good medical skills at this time, and the two of them were thinking about the prescription at the same time, Mo Li would be more confident.

"When I came here, I vaguely saw someone from the Imperial Medical Office?"

This is Mo Li's guess. The only person in the palace with white hair and white beard who didn't wear scarlet and purple robes was the imperial physician.

"The ones who come are all useless people..."

"Yulan!"

The prince stopped drinking, and turned to ask Mo Li, "do you want to discuss the prescription with them?"

Thinking of the prescriptions he saw in the East Palace, Mo Li couldn't help shaking his head and said, "No need."

Some of these imperial physicians may have excellent medical skills, but they are cautious, a single medicine basically does not cure anything, they just want to save the patient's life.It is better to say it is recuperation than to cure the disease. The disease is not cured by drinking medicine, but by the patient himself.

Encountering the prince's deteriorating body, the imperial doctor was helpless.

"...This country is as sick as you are."

The same is at stake, and it is also impossible to start.

Although the foundation is there, it is riddled with holes that cannot be repaired or repaired.

The civil and military officials of the Qi Dynasty are like those imperial doctors who never thought of prescribing the right medicine, but only wanted to keep the old framework, and then hoped that this already decayed country would regain its vitality and return to the prosperous Chu Dynasty.

"doctor?"

Mo Li was awakened by this call, he took off the medicine bag, and took out the silver needle.

The side hall next to it was full of imperial physicians, and they brought everything. Yu Lan quickly brought someone to find wormwood and a small lamp specially used for baking silver needles.

The prince looked at the flickering lights, and suddenly asked: "Is Gu's second brother okay?"

Mo Li paused, but did not answer.

"Second brother escaped from the palace, but the imperial guards haven't caught anyone so far. I guess, he was taken away by the national teacher." The prince took out a piece of beautiful jade with luster and luster from under the pillow with great difficulty, and handed it to Mo Li.

Mo Li didn't pick it up, but his fingers touched the piece of jade.

is warm.

"This is the prince?"

"This is warm jade, and it is considered a rare treasure. It is a waste to fall into the hands of a dying person. I will give this to the doctor. If there are children who suffer from body cold in the future, it will come in handy." After the crown prince finished speaking intermittently, he said with a wry smile, "With this jade as a reward, I hope that the national teacher and doctor can send the second brother out of the capital. After that, life and death will depend on the favor of the heavens."

Hearing this, the gerbil pressed its paw on the ink carp's chest twice.

Doctor Mo: "..."

No, he won't say that the sixth prince is also under their noses, and then take an extra piece of warm jade!
